first of all sorry for my poor english. english is my 3nd language only
this site is very nice but not for dev like me.
let explain .... the extended license cost around 50$ for an maximum of 50k sales. on other website the price is similar or lower with an limits up to 100k - unlimited.
why i would want to pay more for less when i can pay less for more?
there is no restriction on basic license other that "it must be render type" ok gotcha and if i read license ....
"This is licensed for commercial or non-commercial use.
Not intended for redistribution."
thats all .... so let say i want some asset and i buy basic license and i make video render. the render is 100% my work and it stay under basic license.
so now from my work, with photogrammetry method, i can use my own render to convert back my work to 3d model,animation,etc so ofc we dont talk about 100% the product but if in your render you use boxer, you can get back the boxer in 3d model.
here the extended license ..

so you see now how stupid is the license? if i wanna support any artist here, i'm penalized. there is no way for an game to send encoded data to video card so no mater what you doign the work can be extracted (picture,video,game) but the only difference is you are not penalized if you use render first.
the law is the law so the extended asset price should be lower an litle bit. i'm interested by many asset here but i won't buy extended license asset here for sure. i mostly buy from renderhub, the price is nice and most of the asset is free to use in any way so yeah i'm happy to support artist from renderhub.
everyone know we can get almost any asset for free so if we spend money it's only because we are happy to support artist or we want to use your product in our game so why so much trouble and problem on such license when renderotica can use the same system as renderhub ....
here an sample of license from renderhub

no limits, no drama on license, less of trouble for dev like me so most of us always buy from there. would be fun if renderotica use the same license so all artist here could get more sale
